Default lan boot p3 pc's and transfer image of win 98 to pc's

Hi, I need to image a lot of P3 PC's with Win 98. They do not have CD
drives or stiffy drives. At the moment, I boot each one with Acronis
from an external USB CD drive and transfer the image to each P3. This
takes a long time!
I want to lan boot the P3's to another PC and image the P3's. The P3's
are identical with onboard 10/100 Lan ports and the Bios of the P3's
has a lan boot option, but I don't know the Config and Autoexec
commands to be able to do this. Please help.

You can't do what you want to do without a specially-configured server and
software that's been prepped to be pushed over the network in this manner.
